About this listen
BY ÁNGEL FRANCISCO SÁNCHEZ ESCOBAR, 2009 This book analyzes the Byzantine Empire from Constantine’s decision to legalize the Christian Church in 313 until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks forces in 1453. From Emperor Constantine onward, the Church and the Empire started a very close and mutually beneficial relationship. The Church received imperial support and was truly a leaven of the society of which it was a part. The fourth through the tenth centuries represented a significant period for the Church’s internal development: the authoritative content of the New Testament was defined; the worship services attained a formal framework; the teachings of Christianity were developed by the “Fathers” of the church, great pastors and theologians; and missionary activity such as evangelization of the Slavs by Saints Cyril and Methodius flourished.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1503350398
